torn, which is of the fame Breadth as the upper Bafon, and 

 receives all the Water: In it are three large Jets, two of 

 which anfwer the Row of Spouts or Candlefticks upon the 

 Sides^ and the other is in the Middle. As thefe Sheets and 

 Bafons would look too flat and naked without Spouts, the 

 Sides of this Cafcade are accompanied by two Rows of 

 tChande- fmali Bafons, cdXltd ■\Candleflich^ which are made upon each 

 ^^TeiTS Thefe Spouts do not quite fill the Bafons, but 



.^abolT'^^'^^ in the Middle is a Cawl, and a Wafte-Pipe, to fiipply the 

 others; that is to fay, the firft fupplies the third, the fe- 

 cond the fourth, and fo of the others; for in furniihingthe 

 two firft Spouts of each Row, you may make a hundred of 

 them play all at once. There are little Banks of Grafs be- 

 tween thefe Bafons, which lie juft againft the Steps; and 

 thofe which are marked with a little black Square upon the 

 Stone Coping, are Plinths to fet Vafes and Flower-Pots on^ 

 of which there are three Rows on each Side : Next the Pali- 

 fade is a Slope of Turf continued from Top to Bottom, 

 which is cut where it comes againft the Steps. This Caf- 

 cade is fituated as the other, in the midft of a Wood, for 

 'tis there they are moft commonly made: The Verdure of 

 the Trees and Grafs, the Brightnefs of the Water, and the 

 > Ornament of the Figures and Vafes, making a Medley and 

 Contrariety extremely agreeable to the Eye. 

 ::fiG. IIL The third Figure contains a great Buffet, proper to be

 lies againft a low Terrafs-Wall. You may judge by the 

 Upright, of the handfome Effeft this Cafcade would make ^ 

 and, by the Plan, of the Room it takes up. In the level 

 Bafon above, which is the firft Bed, there are five great 

 Spouts of about 12 Foot high. This Bafon advances in 

 Form of an oblong Square hollowed out at the Corners^ 

 and the Water of thefe Spouts makes Sheets on the Fore- 

 Part, which are interrupted by little Rocks fet againft the 

 Intervals of the Spouts. The hollow Corners are likewife 

 fet with Rocks, and upon the Sides are two Sheets of Wa- 

 ter. Thefe Rocks are fet here only to make a Contrariety, 

 and to ferve for a Ground to ten low Spouts that are in the 

 fecond Bafon-^ or Bed of Water^ which differs fufficiently
